3. How do we get vegetables and keep our carbs down?
3.   How much salt do we need in a day? +92    How much water should we try to drink each day? +24  Doctor limits water + sodium due to Afib
I would contend that the vegetable content as you become more keto adapted is much lower. I would say what is the reason you want vegetables? And I'm not trying to be a carnivore advocate here. I'm just saying if, if you're saying you're getting vegetables because they're healthy, I'm saying vegetables were always added because of their nutrients. So if you're looking for specific nutrients, let's talk that game. But if you're saying, “but I was told vegetables are healthy.” Yup. And you were told that breakfast cereal was healthy too. Oh, this is a different way of thinking. I would push you back to that fridge guide and say which vegetables are the best and start using vegetables in a way that keeps your carbohydrates less than 20 per day.
That question number three is how much salt do we need to take in? You shouldn't be measuring it. You're measuring 20 carbohydrates a day. That's it. Do not focus on saying, well, I only had one and a half tablespoons of salt today. Why are you measuring it?
Video Time Stamp: (00:21:13):


You need to assault until you don't feel like you need salt anymore. But the idea that your system needs a measuring cup to tell you how much salt is mixing up messages. We want you listening to your body and we want you salting. Thanks. Salt will prevent that. Keto flu. Salt will prevent you from dropping your blood pressure too quickly but still not compromising that you keep the fluid in your circulation because of high sugar or high insulin. We want you to keeping it there because the salt ratio matches the meat. Your kidneys are going to do a great job of regulating that. Let them do their job. Salt is something that will satiate you. It feels it shuts off hunger, it shuts off cravings. But you shouldn't have to measure the amount of salt. My coffee this morning has salt in it.
Video Time Stamp: (00:22:07):
It has got solely water in it. It is if I have too much my, my body, my efficient, not inflamed body will pee it out. And yours will too. Eventually as you start into the ketogenic journey many people wrote in saying, Hey, my doctor, I have atrial fibrillation. I have a DEMA. I have swelling, my thumbprint was really large. What do I do? This is where your doctor needs to help you with this. Now if you, if you lower your blood sugar and you lower your blood glucose too quickly and you have really stiff old arteries, like let's take an 80 year old who's got atrial fibrillation, has a DEMA, starts on the ketogenic diet, and by day three, they're passing out because they dropped their pressure so much and their poor little hearts has too many other things going wrong and they're taking the medications that the doctor has been doing to counteract the atrial fibrillation and their 80 year old heart was diff arteries.
Video Time Stamp: (00:23:17):
Okay, that's really complicated. That's what internal medicine job is, is to manage that. And it's totally doable, but it is not not a good idea to do all that. Without your doctor being unaware, please let them know, tell them what you're doing. They are going to tell them to reach out to me. I'll, I'll tell them what I would do, but to advise a thousand people online, here's what I do. I think you're setting people up for a dangerous precedent. Let's see. Keto says add water and salt. My doctor says, stop at how confusing, right? I know only five people voted for that, but this poor little lady or man, it's super confusing and I'm telling you, you will have less need for these medications. Your heart will be under such less pressure. When you get keto adapted, when you get through this taking the time to do this journey with your doctor, and then you'll get the free just confidence from your doctor when you show up saying, look, I've been studying my blood pressure.
Video Time Stamp: (00:24:24):
So that's what those charts are for in those handouts is I'm giving you the tools that as a physician, when the patient shows up and they have this documentation, it is a glorious moment because first of all, I know they're committed and second of all, they're studying the things that I need to know about. If I'm going to give you advice and that if the doctor sees that right in front of them, they're going to be able to say, Oh, here's what we do next. When you come in and ask the question, but you don't have any information they're guessing. They're trying to say, I think this is where they're at. Why is eating sunflower seeds a good way to take insult? I wouldn't do that. A sunflower seeds. There's just so many other good ways to take insult that don't have the distraction of sunflower seeds.
Video Time Stamp: (00:25:12):
I mean, they're seeds, they're not terrible. But pickle juice with no additives for probiotics is salty. Yes, that's another nice idea, but I would just stick with salt. It's less complicated.

<div id="No4">'''Question 4'''</div>
4. Do I stop taking supplements like D three Cod liver oil, vitamin Metamucil capsules?
4. How much water do we need in a day? +82
So I would contend that at the beginning, I, I don't, yeah, the only one that really makes my skin crawl is the Metamucil. Again, those are all carbs. They are carbs that have been modified to not be absorbed. Which is the same thing that fiber is. That's why vegetables have so many carbohydrates in them is they are carbs that you don't absorb except they still do things to you. And that's a longer story than we're going to get in today. But it will come up in the future, especially next week when we talk about constipation, diarrhea and all kinds of poop stories. Vitamin D three important so is K2 and I would tell you that the people who need the most supplements are the ones that have been.
 
Video Time Stamp: (00:30:15):
They'll be the longest. So at the beginning I would say I wouldn't take any of those supplements if I was telling somebody right out of the gate, you're going to go into the ketogenic diet and you know, tomorrow is day one. What, what do I do with these supplements? And I would just say, pause them for a moment. Just don't take those. Without the Cod liver oil. But daily vitamin D, vitamin D three, all important. But one of the key things to becoming healthy is that you stop losing the nutrients out your gut. You're not going to do that the first week, but there are plenty of problems that happened the first week. And I would mitigate that by saying just put those on hold for a week.


<div id="No5">'''Question 5'''</div>
<div id="No5">'''Question 5'''</div>
5. When will the workbook be published?  
5. Are sparkling water allowed in the beginning or ever? +52
Yeah, I know I talked about the workbook on video one.
How much water do you need a day, again speaking to that sparkling water. So I think it's really important to clarify this question. Our sparkle is sparkling water. Allow it at the beginning or ever in this diet. And 52 of you wanted to know if I if that's what's the answer to that? I would commend that your sparkling water needs a definition. When I talk about sparkling water, I think of it as Agua Kongese that's Spanish for water with gas in it. So the,  bubbles in water is,  what I call sparkling water. Now there've been branding people who put in Stevia and sweeteners and some cucumber juice or lemon juice and those flavors end up with a stimulation of cravings.
Video Time Stamp: (00:26:13):


Video Time Stamp: (00:31:05):
So just be careful that if you're talking about just taking water and putting, get carbonation in it, that's what I, that's my one of my non coffee drinks that I love, but it doesn't have extra flavors in, it doesn't have essence in it. It, it, I would be careful about what's in that.
The outline is very similar to what is in your handouts. But the published workbook will probably be, I don't know, I'd like to think June. Stay tuned. Yeah, we're getting there.


<div id="No6">'''Question 6'''</div>
<div id="No6">'''Question 6'''</div>
6.  I thought you weren't supposed to be doing keto
6. How much Sole water can you add to your drinks per day? +21
That's my favorite. Okay.  
  How much solely water can you drink in a day again till you feel like you don't want anymore salt? Is this really primal signal when you are, when you're satisfying it, your kidneys will remove amazing amounts of salt in a day if they need to. And it will also hold onto the salt that you need. You want to oversalt versus under salt these first few days. And you will feel it. You will feel the sensation of, I just don't want any more salt. So listen for that signal when you're replacing salt.
Video Time Stamp: (00:27:06):
 
All right, question seven.

Question 1

1. If I am still hungry, and still want to eat, can I keep going over on my fat and protein maximum and kcals and still lose weight? If I'm still hungry and still want to eat, can I keep going over on my fat protein maximum of kilocalories and still lose weight? So again, in week one, the only thing I want you counting is carbohydrates. Total carbohydrates of 20 or less. The fat doesn't matter. The amount doesn't matter. The calories don't matter. The protein doesn't matter as long as you hit 20 carbohydrates or less every day, every day, at least the first week I pushed people to go even into the second week. What I'm looking for is we have to switch your chemistry before we can switch your a weight loss. But especially for people who have been overweight for several years you're fighting against this hidden monster of your chemistry and if you try to outsmart it with calories, you will lose. If you try to outsmart it with not eating too much fat, you will lose the amount of calories found in switching to ketosis is not the focus. Video Time Stamp: (00:18:23):

Your focus needs to be keeping those carbohydrates low. That is the key to switching is chemistry. I put this question first because it was so paramount for the success in people transitioning to the ketogenic diet. In the folks who struggled and said, I just am not getting results that I need. Why am I not getting the results I need? I tell them to scrap looking at anything else, only focus on those 20 total carbohydrates a day. Do that for 10 days. Watch what happens. And the anxiety of checking all of these things at first can overwhelm people. We don't want you anxious. We want you happy and and mentally not stuck in the high scroll here..

Question 2

2. What foods should we be eating to lower blood pressure? +31

What foods should we be eating? Lower blood pressure. Okay. Again, 31 of you said, yep, I want that answered. There was another question later on that said, how does ketosis help to normalize blood pressure? Again, looking at some of the videos I did in this series, talking about the food, the removal of water that first week, blood pressure is a circuit of hoses filled with fluid. And so when the pressure is high, you can either Lynx in the hoses or you can decrease the amount of fluid inside the hoses. It's a closed circuit. So when you add water or take away water, you can donate some blood. That would be a way that you decrease the fluid or you can change how much of the fluid is stuck inside your circulation because of how much sugar is circulating around.

Video Time Stamp: (00:20:17):

When you say what foods lower blood pressure, I would flip the question, say the foods that raise blood pressure or carbohydrates, because as those carbohydrates get high, the insulin goes high and that whole meal you have high carbohydrates, high insulin create a the osmotic or the pull to keep the water in circulation. When you drop those carbs, you drop the glucose in your, you drop the insulin and those three trifecta remove the pole to keep the fluid in circulation. And that's how you drop your blood pressure. It's for that same reason.

Question 3

3. How much salt do we need in a day? +92 How much water should we try to drink each day? +24 Doctor limits water + sodium due to Afib That question number three is how much salt do we need to take in? You shouldn't be measuring it. You're measuring 20 carbohydrates a day. That's it. Do not focus on saying, well, I only had one and a half tablespoons of salt today. Why are you measuring it? Video Time Stamp: (00:21:13):

You need to assault until you don't feel like you need salt anymore. But the idea that your system needs a measuring cup to tell you how much salt is mixing up messages. We want you listening to your body and we want you salting. Thanks. Salt will prevent that. Keto flu. Salt will prevent you from dropping your blood pressure too quickly but still not compromising that you keep the fluid in your circulation because of high sugar or high insulin. We want you to keeping it there because the salt ratio matches the meat. Your kidneys are going to do a great job of regulating that. Let them do their job. Salt is something that will satiate you. It feels it shuts off hunger, it shuts off cravings. But you shouldn't have to measure the amount of salt. My coffee this morning has salt in it. Video Time Stamp: (00:22:07):

It has got solely water in it. It is if I have too much my, my body, my efficient, not inflamed body will pee it out. And yours will too. Eventually as you start into the ketogenic journey many people wrote in saying, Hey, my doctor, I have atrial fibrillation. I have a DEMA. I have swelling, my thumbprint was really large. What do I do? This is where your doctor needs to help you with this. Now if you, if you lower your blood sugar and you lower your blood glucose too quickly and you have really stiff old arteries, like let's take an 80 year old who's got atrial fibrillation, has a DEMA, starts on the ketogenic diet, and by day three, they're passing out because they dropped their pressure so much and their poor little hearts has too many other things going wrong and they're taking the medications that the doctor has been doing to counteract the atrial fibrillation and their 80 year old heart was diff arteries.

Okay, that's really complicated. That's what internal medicine job is, is to manage that. And it's totally doable, but it is not not a good idea to do all that. Without your doctor being unaware, please let them know, tell them what you're doing. They are going to tell them to reach out to me.

Video Time Stamp: (00:24:24):

So that's what those charts are for in those handouts is I'm giving you the tools that as a physician, when the patient shows up and they have this documentation, it is a glorious moment because first of all, I know they're committed and second of all, they're studying the things that I need to know about. If I'm going to give you advice and that if the doctor sees that right in front of them, they're going to be able to say, Oh, here's what we do next. When you come in and ask the question, but you don't have any information they're guessing. They're trying to say, I think this is where they're at. Why is eating sunflower seeds a good way to take insult? I wouldn't do that. A sunflower seeds. There's just so many other good ways to take insult that don't have the distraction of sunflower seeds.

Question 4

4. How much water do we need in a day? +82

Question 5

5. Are sparkling water allowed in the beginning or ever? +52 How much water do you need a day, again speaking to that sparkling water. So I think it's really important to clarify this question. Our sparkle is sparkling water. Allow it at the beginning or ever in this diet. And 52 of you wanted to know if I if that's what's the answer to that? I would commend that your sparkling water needs a definition. When I talk about sparkling water, I think of it as Agua Kongese that's Spanish for water with gas in it. So the, bubbles in water is, what I call sparkling water. Now there've been branding people who put in Stevia and sweeteners and some cucumber juice or lemon juice and those flavors end up with a stimulation of cravings. Video Time Stamp: (00:26:13):

So just be careful that if you're talking about just taking water and putting, get carbonation in it, that's what I, that's my one of my non coffee drinks that I love, but it doesn't have extra flavors in, it doesn't have essence in it. It, it, I would be careful about what's in that.

Question 6

6. How much Sole water can you add to your drinks per day? +21

How much solely water can you drink in a day again till you feel like you don't want anymore salt? Is this really primal signal when you are, when you're satisfying it, your kidneys will remove amazing amounts of salt in a day if they need to. And it will also hold onto the salt that you need. You want to oversalt versus under salt these first few days. And you will feel it. You will feel the sensation of, I just don't want any more salt. So listen for that signal when you're replacing salt.

Video Time Stamp: (00:27:06):

All right, question seven.

Question 7

7. Will members who need to go at a slower pace, get lost in the crowd? And that's the whole point of, this was again, one of those questions that way at the bottom. But members who are going at a slower pace don't necessarily have a no, you are the focus right now is that the newbies, the people who have never done this or they've fallen off and they're not Keto and they're looking to restore their patterns for Y. So this is it for you that I'm trying to slow down and say, yup, I get that there are people that are super advanced and want to know more about the dr boss ratio and have all these great advanced questions and they're going to be the target audience in week three and four.


Video Time Stamp: (00:32:06): So hang in there. Please don't feel like you're getting lost doctor for the 200 club.

Question 8

8. Dr. Boz for the 200 club, what do we do if 1 of 3 are over 200 and the other 2 are under 100, should I delay starting in order to get to

What would I do if one of three are over 200 and the other two are 100? Should I delay it? So what she's saying is I asked you to count ho many carbs did he had in the last three days and she's like, one of them is over 200 and the other two are at 100 or or under 100. So her average for the three days is under 200 and I would say you're going to be just fine. She's not part of the 200 club then. So again, what I'm looking for is people who, who are eating at least 200 carbs per day or more and they come to the table with a bunch of chronic illnesses. They're the people who have the most trouble and that's the ones I'm trying to, to offer these answers to as we prevent you from falling off the cliff there.

Question 9

9. What formally accepted keto products do you recommend people remove from their pantry? Example Keto ice cream, nut flours, others?+65 All right, question number 65 folks wanted to know what formal aspects what formally accepted Keto products do you recommend people remove from their pantry? Example, keto ice cream, nuts, flour, others, again when you look at the products in your pantry, and when I'm talking about cleaning out the pantry for this week, it is a, it is [inaudible] cathartic therapy. If you know, you are using Keto ice cream or my personal crux is I cannot have Maccabee and that's in the house with me cause I eat them all. I love them. I eat them all. I buy them thinking they're, they're for the kids, they're for somebody else and I eat them off. So if you have things in your pantry where you know it's a form of the devil, I guess just tempting you, then get rid of it.


Video Time Stamp: (00:33:54): I mean, I have learned that when I have coconut flour around or I have almond flour around, that I'll find that I need to bake. But when they're not in the house, I don't do it. So if I look at a what, when, no, what should be kept in the pantry and what shouldn't, I would try to use, Oh, where’re your demons? Okay.

Question 10

10. What about protein and calories macros? Do we need to worry about these? I hear conflicting information.+62 What about protein-calorie macros? Do we need to worry about these? I hear conflicting information. 62 of you want to know that question and I would say, ask me again in a week or two. The audience for this week is I want them only looking at total carbohydrates for the next week.

Question 11

11. What is the difference between BHB and MCT? Are they interchangeable?+60 What's the difference between BHB and MCT? Are they interchangeable answers? No one's assault that is already made. Ketones that you swallow. MCT is the oil that does not need to be digested.

Video Time Stamp: (00:34:45): It is absorbed. So it comes right from your gut into the liver. The liver then spins that fat into ketones. So the MCT, your liver makes the ketones and the rise, and your ketones last for about four to five hours. The BHB spikes those ketones much quicker and as little as 15 minutes, but really only lasts a couple of hours and your liver did not make any. I think it is very interesting that when those folks have a few ketones in circulation, it does signal the liver that, Hey, we should be making ketones. We've got ketones around, we missed something. So ketones be get ketones. And that is one of the life hacks that I've really come to appreciate. I did not, no that when I wrote the first book. Anyway, you can. But I do have a really good chapter in any way you can about MCT.

Video Time Stamp: (00:35:33): I have turned that into a YouTube video that I think is really helpful. If you're looking for a more thorough answer there.

Question 12

12. What is the goal with the thumb print - is it for this to disappear?+54 What's the goal of the thumbprint? Thank you for asking this question. I really liked this once you have 54 of your life, what do I do with this now? Hmm. So the thumbprint, yes, this is inflammation. When people say, and I use the word chronic inflammation it's amazing how many people just think it's like a cognitive dissidence. They don't think I'm talking to them. I think that can't be me. I don't have any inflammation. I'm fine. And then you, you can do one blood to ask. You come to my office. You have high blood pressure. You have a, you're overweight, your joints hurt. Look, that's all signs of inflammation. But to give you the best measurable moment of inflammation is to do the thumbprint.

Video Time Stamp: (00:36:18): And yes, when you're healthy, it's gone. That's the powerful answer that you store fluid in your body. And nobody asks you for permission. You hardly, it's such a subtle change in your overall symptoms that you hardly notice, but the thumbprint is a way for you to say, Oh, snap I got some fluid, you know, in the plane trip over here is really long. So I get here and I can feel that my legs have a tightness to them. And I did a thumbprint and it was, you know, it was real 48 hours later it was pretty gone. But you know, just having it, having that long plane ride is something I, yeah, I thought it was going to be somebody else's problem. Much like cognitive dissonance. But sure enough, you use that as a way to say inflammation is real.

Video Time Stamp: (00:37:02): It does. And it's measurable. So this will disappear. Knowing that you do have to push pretty hard and you're pushing right on the bone. The bone should have fascia and skin. There should be, there's no fat there. If you do have fat there, it doesn't leave a dimple. Fat doesn't leave a dimple. Only inflammation does. So a very good question. Really, really important question there.

Question 13

13. Was advised menopausal women should not always eat under 20 carbs per day and that "feeding" hormones at certain times is advised Comment?+53 What are your buys for menopause? Not always. Okay. What advice was advised menopausal women should not always eat under 20 carbs per day and that feeding hormone is a certain time is advised. And I know you got 53 of you that one of the answers to this I, I don't support this line of thinking. And if you look at some of the measurements of hormones and why hormones are better produced when the inflammation is low in a woman who's got a history of menopause or premenopausal we need a stable supply of fat delivered hormones. And I contend by the end of this course you're going to see if you stay consistently Keto, watch what happens at about six weeks to the way your ovaries listen. I mean, if you're premenopausal or your ovaries listened to estrogen and progesterone production, but also how your skin looks how your body feels, what's your sex drive? All of those are related to steady and very stable. Delivery of fat-based hormones. When people carb cycle, there's very good evidence that it doesn't take a lot of

Video Time Stamp: (00:38:36): Carbs to push them right over that insulin surge and it reverses their progress. And I contend it's, it stops the ultimate repair of that adrenal pituitary access where you need to have a constant communication happening between all those hormones.

Question 14

14. until DrBoz BHB powder is available again, what other brand is acceptable?+52 So I don't, I don't advise my patients that, okay, tell the doctor boss powders available what other brand is acceptable. So if you go to boss md.com and go to favorites, you'll see that. Or dr boss favorites. The Keto perfect has been what I was using before this. Again I think they're a good brand. But there's a reason I made my own.

Question 15

15. By the time I hit my fat goal I'm generally over on protein. Is that a problem? If so, how do you suggest we address that?+52 By the time I hit my fat goal, I'm generally over on proteins. Is this a problem? Again, very similar to what that first question was. So for these first two weeks, I want you just focusing on total carbohydrates.

Video Time Stamp: (00:39:36): We'll get to that question as you get more keto-adapted.

Question 16

16. Are magnesium soaks, aka Epsom salt baths, better than or different from, oral magnesium supplements?+46 Our magnesium, magnesium salts, AKA Epsom salt, vast, better than or different from oral supplements? The answer is yes. This next week the module that's opening in about another hour will give you a whole lesson on this and a worksheet on how to think about your magnesium is a huge part of module two is magnesium. So good question. That's a little foreshadowing that's coming your way.

Question 17

17. how is the best way to deal with sugar/carb cravings+44 What's the best way to deal with the cravings? You know, there's actually a couple of videos saying, is it a craving or is it hunger in working through that paradigm of which one is Mmm, w which 1:00 AM I having? Am I having a sugar carb craving? Or is this really hunger? And I will tell you this is the crux of what becoming ketogenic is all about.

Video Time Stamp: (00:40:34): The reason there's a support group is this is hard when you're struggling alone. That little bite of sugar is the, it feels wonderful. Like, Oh, thank you. I just needed that. But that's exactly what my heroin addicts would have said to me. It's exactly what my alcoholics and I just even one drink. And when the addiction has become really hardcore, these cravings speak to them like it's like a delic languages and just derail their progress. Best way to deal with this. I tell you to hop on the salt of a bandwagon. And again, one of my biggest mistakes over the last four years was under appreciating how much and how important replacing salt is. Mmm. And not just the white salt. And I, I was, I like salt salt, don't worry about it, but I really have had to eat my words.

Video Time Stamp: (00:41:24): I've had eat my words on a lot of things, but man, I stand corrected. And personally I had a heck of a time giving up my heavy cream in the morning. And after I added the Solei salt that you might have seen me talking about on YouTube, I, this is black coffee with salt in it. It's got some of my solar water in it because it really does change the cravings and how they last, how long they work. It is a salt thing. And part of that's what you're going to learn about with magnesium. But part of that is finding a way to suck on it, to put it in some water, to add the water to your coffee, to add it to your T. You just can't appreciate that enough how important it is.

Question 18

18. Where do you consider the waist for measuring? At the bend in the side, just above the belly button? Other? 41 of you wanted to know, tell me more about measuring my waist.

Video Time Stamp: (00:42:12): Where exactly do I do it? So I like to think of waistbands as the answer. If it goes around your waist band, that's my favorite place to measure. But most importantly, I just need you to remember where you did it. So if you say, this is where I measure my waist, then measure at that place again. So I think where, where the, smallest part of the waist for a woman in a man, it's usually right where he wears his, his belt. So finding that place in you, it isn't so much that all of you match the same place that you measure. It's that you match yourself and you measure the same place now and in the future.

Question 19

19. What causes inflammation and what is its impact on the brain, joints, organs, other? All right. What causes inflammation? What impact is it on brain's joints? Oregon's 41% of you want to know it will age you.

Video Time Stamp: (00:42:57): There's a lot of this that we're going to cover as we get into weeks two, three and four. Again, it is the whole if you want to notice the personality of my clinic, this is what it looks like. Inflammation of brains, joints, organs and other. And as they age there is a point of no return where their damage is done. But I will tell you that most of you, it's preventable, not just in a little way, but in a major way.

Question 20

20. Is it true higher protein levels caused kidney problems? Question number 20, is it true high protein causes kidney problems? The answer is no. That's not true. Kidneys are most commonly damaged by pressure and glucose, diabetes and high blood pressure are the two. Number one things that kill kidneys. They do it slowly and they don't ask your permission as you look at the ketogenic diet.

Video Time Stamp: (00:43:42): I think it is the biggest prevention, prevention of kidney problems, not the cause coffee heavy cream. My comforts that sustained me during fast. Now, yeah. So this is the carb. I actually, that's one of the reasons Spencer's on the phone, so I'll, I'll get to him in just a minute.

Question 21

21. Coffee & Heavy Cream, my comforts that sustain me during fasts, now measure 15.2g carbs. Coffee has carbs?+33 But coffee has carbs. Black coffee shouldn't have carbs in it. You know, I got a message from a Spencer, the adviser this morning who says in his text that the there can be some fiber if the coffee filter puts the beans into the coffee. And so that's why there's some of the coffee components into the in the, in the chronometer app that says it has carbs. I can't remember how many are in one cup of coffee, but I don't know a

Video Time Stamp: (00:44:32): Carb or two. That is if there's coffee grounds, if there's flecks of fiber that end up in a coffee. And so it's a good filter offset. If you've ever let a cup sit and then you pour it out and you can see the black Brian's at the bottom. This is where they're kind of coming up with some of these carbs. Personally I'm a huge proponent of coffee, so I am not the one to defend them as any carbs in my, in my mind I'm counting it as zero. But in all fairness the, the accuracy is what is what gets the chronometer stuff set apart. You can you can take it on my word, that coffee perfect in your fast. I, I hope that you get to the part where we can say goodbye to your crabby cream.

Video Time Stamp: (00:45:18): I do not want the newbies hearing that they are in this stage where they need cream in their coffee. It is one of the solutions. They need fat in their drinks. A cream heavy cream tastes good. So that's why you'll hear me default to that. So don't newbies, I want you putting cream in. Do not decrease your cream. We'll talk to the more advanced folks in a couple of weeks on, on what to do about their green.

Question 22

22. If I've successfully done both IF, Keto, and even Carnivore, but am not losing, is that a Stubborn Liver and how do I deal with that?+33 Okay. If I've successfully done intermittent fasting, Keto and even carnivore, but I'm not losing, is this a stubborn liver and how do I deal with it? Yep. We've got a whole section of that. That is absolutely what we're going to cover. Not today. This is not for two and a half years. Always net carbs for calculations I verified in ketosis mojo. Why total carbs? I'm, I'm over carbs daily.

Video Time Stamp: (00:46:03): Okay. So she's saying,

Question 23

23. Been keto 2.5yrs. Always Net Carbs for calculation. I’ve verified in ketosis via Keto-Mojo meter. Why Total Carbs? I’m over carbs daily+32 Hey, I'm fine. I'm two and a half years in. I'm metabolically healthy. I just study myself. Why do I have to do total carbs? If you're healthy, you don't have to do total carbs. This is the rules that I put out for my patients, especially when they're struggling. So total carbs is the way to identify where they're getting carbs, where they shouldn't be. But if you've got the perfect health and don't have any problems, you're okay. Congratulations. Keep going.

Question 24

24. Concerned protein recommendation from cronometer too low, afraid hair will fall out.+31 Concerned protein recommended nation for chronometer is too low, afraid my hair will fall out. I love this one because it was a couple of comments that so yes, hair falling out is a reflection of malnourishment. So Mike, I just distract from the newbies on day on week one with the difference between malnourishment and ketosis are completely different.

Video Time Stamp: (00:46:54): What I'm trying to ensure is we have a state of ketosis of heat genic guaranteed. And that means we need high-fat and we need high fat, low protein, low carbs. We need high fat. When hair falls out, there was malnourishment and inflammation going on already and you were at a very stable holding it together kind of moment. When you switch ketosis, if you lose hair, but you can prove that you are peeing ketones, you are checking your ketones, you're in ketosis, that will go away and you are, you are paying a price for being for

Video Time Stamp: (00:47:30): Months in the past. But what you are guaranteed if you stay the course is you will get that keyed it ketones. Our state of ketosis is a state of continued repair for a body that has been malnourished. The hair falling out is something really common. But the people who lose hair are malnourished. They, even if they're you know, they say, I don't, I've been to my doctor, I'm not malnourished. I'm telling you, your body's saying it got malnourished somewhere and you're paying a price of it falling out when you switch it to a ketogenic state that the last few parts of hair particles, like a doc, I don't want to lose any more hair. I'm like, well then cut the crap. Get on board and stay the course because we have cells to repair and they don't repair overnight. It takes time.

Video Time Stamp: (00:48:15): So stepping into a state of ketosis and then don't go out of it, stay the course, which is the whole point of this class because that's what happens. They go into ketosis, a little hair falls out, they go back on carbs, which does not help. And then they say, Oh, I'm gonna try it again. Then they lose a little more hair cause we're going to lose that hair anyway. And then they go back out and this cycle saying, I can't go on keto because it makes my hair fall out. No, Keto wasn't, what did that, the chronic inflammation and the poor nourishment is what did that

Question 25

25. Will we always eat such high fat for life on keto?+31 well, we always eat high fat on Keto. Nope. But, and you gotta let the newbies live that live in that place forever. So for this week, we high-fat, that's what we're going to talk about. But keep that question for the future.

Video Time Stamp: (00:48:59):

Question 26

26. Do you suggest blood work as a baseline? If so what test should be run?+31 Do you suggest blood work? Yeah, I do. For some people that ha in general, no. If you look at the average person start, don't have, I can't do this. I can't do this. I can't do this. Those basic measurements are from your own your own home, your own life. You know, the one thing that I've become a big fan of is studying their Omega three content, which is in the he has a finger prick at home. You get control of it. It doesn't come with a doctor's visit. Of course I'm answering that blood work. Question to the average person. If you have diabetes and you've had a heart attack and you've got high blood pressure and you've got all these other problems that I hope you're following with a physician in general and they should be checking blood work, but it's nothing beyond what they should be looking at.

Video Time Stamp: (00:49:45): I'm a big proponent for screening everybody with the hemoglobin, UNC that's the three month report or the diabetics get checked, averaging what their blood sugars have been and we'll get to that in the lessons that are coming ahead. BAS

Question 27

27. Where is the best place to learn to use the Cronometer? I find it difficult!+29 best place to learn the chronometer app. We're going to get to Spencer. He's going to be my first person when I'm done with these 80 questions.

Question 28

28. You mentioned that you are working on a second book. can you tell us more about what the book will contain and when it will publish?+28 You mentioned you're working on a second book. Yes, it's coming out. Hopefully publish soon. I'm on the third edit. Each morning I do two hours of online Skype editing, another chapter and I've got one chapter left to right and one chapter left to edit with my editor. I'm, I'm hoping I get it written this weekend or shortly thereafter.

Question 29

29. What supplements do you recommend?+26 What supplements? None right now.

Video Time Stamp: (00:50:31):

Question 30

30. Is the fat macro one we have to meet at 100%?+24 Yeah. Fat Matt macros. You should meet a hundred percent. What I really don't. So it's instead of this, I would look at the opposite. I want you eating fat, but I don't want you looking at macros right now. The only thing I want you counting is carbs. Total carbs. Keep it at 20 or less for now. And we'll get to this question in a couple well weeks and it'll be a different audience than I'm answering the question for.

Question 31

31. This may come in a later module, but can you address thyroid health and keto?+24 This may come in a later module. Yeah. Thyroid and Keto. It does come later.

Question 32

32. How do we lose weight? Do we eventually lessen our fat intake so our body will use our own body fat?+23 How do you lose weight? Do we eventually less than the fat? Yes. This is a chemistry thing before you can lose weight. If you want weight loss, we have to fix the chemistry first. What I'm doing with the first two weeks of this Keto course is preparing you for the hiccups and getting you over that ketogenic transition in a way that's the safest and that to guarantee that you have a fat-based hormones in circulation that you lose weight by using chemistry for your, for your health.

Video Time Stamp: (00:51:26): And you're going to see those in the videos coming ahead.

Question 33

33. If 16/8 is part of my lifestyle, yet carbs have crept back into the 8 hrs, do I need to go back to phase 1?+22 If I'm 16, eight as part of my life yet carbs have crept back in, do I have to go back to phase one? What I would say is you're going to learn about something called the keto continuum and I would say if you fell off of 16, eight then I want to know how, where you fell onto and so you'll get to Keto continuum in a bit. And I want you to ask this question once you understand the, what the Keto continuum is. Yeah, it looks like 22 of you have the question so we should revisit that in the weeks ahead.

Question 34

34. I often get Charlie Horses during the night? What supplement or food is best to eliminate these?+21 I often get Charlie horses during the night. That is a magnesium problem and you are going to hear all about that in the videos that are just about to be released here in an hour or so.

Video Time Stamp: (00:52:07):

Question 35

35. I know the fridge list is only suggestions but I was so surprised to see Spam listed due to how highly processed Spam is?+20 I know the fridge guide list is only suggestion, but this is my favorite. What's up with spam isn't that highly processed? And again, this is one of those things where I, I think people lose focus of what your body is, is used to and that is spam is no more processed than a hotdog. Spam is maybe a little more processed than pepperoni, but it is really high fat and meat and especially in a time where we're trying to, you know, look at where do the resources come from and can we stop just eating the most desirable parts of the animal, but instead use, you know, all of it. Like, like the stuff that's in the spam spam is processed and it's got a lot of salt. It by process I don't mean that it's got a bunch of ingredients in it.

Video Time Stamp: (00:53:03): Go to the back of a can of the spam and look how many ingredients it has. It's not nearly as bad as the number of ingredients you find in your breakfast cereal. So when I think of processed, I think of particles that got really put down into the microscopic level and then go back up into something beautiful as, as, as if to deceive us and want to make us want it. Spam to me is less processed than bread than some of the particles of wheat and flour. And so I would S you know, when I, when people ask me, I use fam in hopes to evoke a little controversy saying, Hey, guess what this has better nutrients in it. Then that box of cereal does. Why? Because you're going to be able to absorb the nutrients in this box of spam. Do I think that there are other foods out there that are healthier whole foods? Sure. But that doesn't always a fit in people's budgets and hotdogs and spam and yeah, they taste good for some ever had spam. I was in Haiti doing a mission trip and I thought it was like, I didn't know it was actually, I didn't know it was real, but I was so sticking hungry and I can remember them frying spam and having this crispy. Oh it tasted so good.

Video Time Stamp: (00:54:18): And then I wasn't Keto then, but I was hungry and so yeah, spam has, that's like place in my heart.

Question 36

36. What is 'dirty' keto?+20 Okay. What's dirty? Keto. It means they're adding carbs and I don't, I don't want to agree to this. Dirty keto means they don't really measure. Ketosis is not a diet. It is a chemistry set. You're going to learn about that as we go forward.

Question 37

37. How do you get to a Dr Box ratio of 20 to fight Cancer? And how long do you maintain at 20?+20 How do you get a ratio to fight cancer? That's for a future subject.

Question 38

38. On Cronometer what should we set the Activity Level at? Our actual or none? Same with Goal Timeline.+18 Chronometer says what activity level should you say to that? I would actually always, I would actually try to send it at what you do. When people are looking at activity level, it's kind of like that same moment when doctors ask you, do you exercise? It's a dangerous question to ask and I would be very careful when you answer it because I want you to think about in the last week, how many times did you exercise?

Video Time Stamp: (00:55:00): And then if it's only been twice, then try to really respect that that's what your activity is closer to zero than it is actually having a routine. If you're pretty good about holding a routine, then maybe you can have an activity level that matches. So I would actually mine while in Hawaii, is it none.

Question 39

39. The cronometer reads 2.8g carbs for coffee. Is that really so? Thought in one meal I was around 20carbs but said 42, had 2 eggs + lamb chop+18 Here's the 2.8 grams for coffee fencer. Can't wait to beat you up on that one. Alright, we'll come back to that.

Question 40

40. I have had to change Emails to open your class. But I am not able to understand that Cronometer. More explanation please!+17 I have had a change an email open your class, but I'm not able to understand the chronometer more explanation please. The chronometer app is absolutely something we're going to talk about.

Question 41

41. COVID19 blood clots are hypothesized to be caused by oxidative stress. Will keto lower my oxidative stress level?+17 Phobic blood clots are hypothesized to cause oxidative stress. Oh, I like this one too. Well, Keto, lower that. Yes. If you look at some of the supplements that you can go to the ER, to the health food store and buy for oxidative stress like NADH or for candles or they're all based on antioxidants, Cod liver oil, and they are meant to absorb those electrons that are doing naughty things to the insides of yourself.

Video Time Stamp: (00:56:06): And I would contend that you will never take enough supplement compare to what it is when your body produces ketones to a level of 1.1 1.2 you know, somewhere around one or more, you couldn't take enough supplements without like overdosing to provide the oxidative relief that having a state of ketosis does to your cells relative to what the supplements do. So again, when people ask, what supplements do you take, I'm going to say get healthy. People don't need to take them. Maybe you're not healthy today, but I want you to looking forward to not needing all of that because your body will do a better job than my prescription pad or the supplement store will ever do.

Question 42

42. Can you explain why it's difficult for one person to raise ketones and another it's easy?+17 Can you explain why it's different for one person to raise ketones easy for another? Yes, this has to do with insulin and we're going to get into that the next week.

Video Time Stamp: (00:56:58):

Question 43

43. Best location to measure on the neck?+16 Best location for measuring a neck. Oopsy Daisy is I think of it as a neck tie. So if I would put this around my neck, that that's the place where a neck tie goes. That's where you're trying to measure. 17 is your magical number. If your number is 17 or greater, your risk of sleep apnea is almost 90%. Even if you're muscular, even if you're the football player who's got really big muscles thanks to his workout schedule, if their neck size is 17 or greater, the number of people with that demographic who have sleep apnea, it is shocking.

Question 44

44. You mention total carbs but cronometer says carbs less fiber. It looked I went over on carbs due to eating vegetables but then fi+15 Total carbs. You can set the chronometer app to have carbs less than fiber. Mmm. I went over to get eating vegetables, but it has fiber. Yes, I understand. And I would really push you to get to 20 total carbs at least for two weeks, either.

Video Time Stamp: (00:57:50): For those of you that are saying, I'm at a stall, I don't know where to go. Yeah. Do the two weeks of total 20 carbs and watch what happens.

Question 45

45. Do you have any recommendations for snack options? Do you have any recommendations for school snacks? Yes. High-fat snacks, like pepperoni, pepperoni. This next week you're going to see the grocery list and I think sardines are a really good snack. I think braunschweiger really good snack. I think pepperoni is a really good snack. I think a bell baby bell cheese is a really good snack. All high-fat. Okay.

Question 46

46. Should I be following the calorie and macronutrient recommendation on Cronometer?+15 Calories. Macronutrients. No, we're going to get to that this week.

Question 47

47. Do we eat until we are satiated or once we hit or our macros we stop? Even if we are not full?+15 Eat until you're satiated. Associated. Yes. That's the whole point. Especially the first two weeks. I want you thinking of nothing else except do you feel full? Do you feel full, keep eating? Do you feel full? You feel full? Those are the things I want.

Video Time Stamp: (00:58:37): And if you're eating to feel full, but you're going over on your carbs, then you got to find fattier things to eat.

Question 48

48. Can I eat carnivore on your plan, Dr. Boz?+14 I eat carnivores. Yeah. I, I, I don't think anybody who's been key to long term misses the observation that the longer you are Keto, the more people tend toward carnivores. But that's, yeah, so I have a carb manager that I really liked. Do I need to use chronometer? No, I recommend chronometer because especially if you're just starting out, you gotta learn one of them and at least chronometer has evidenced that if I need to help you with a Mac, a micronutrient, if you have troubles, man, it's a lot easier to figure out when the app supports the physician. And so I know there's been a lot of grumbling about it, but I would contend that it's worth the effort.

Video Time Stamp: (00:59:21): If you, if you're a keto coach, I would be figuring out this app. I would have some of the little support that I've got Spencer on the line for, because we need you keeping accurate data. If you've got a good plan and you're working and you're healthy, don't, don't bang your head against the wall. But if, if you're new and you, or you've struggled I would say reset. I'm going to push you to the chronometer app. If you come to me and you're in a problem, and I'm trying to trust a data source that has hurt my patients before where I trusted the deck, the app, and it wasn't accurate. And this is why I've become so adamant to saying, if you've had medical problems, let me help you.

Question 49

49. My ketone levels are very low in the morning. Is this normal?+14 My ketone levels are low in the morning. Is this normal? I would say not.

Video Time Stamp: (01:00:04): If you're healthy we'll get to that. And if you, the lessons,

Question 50

50. I don't see salad greens - other than spinach - on the Fridge guide. I eat large quantities - are they “approved"?+14 I don't see salad greens other than spinach on your frame guides, what's up with that? Again, we're looking for a nutrient dense high ketogenic foods. So stick to spinach, stick to something, cabbage, Brussels sprouts. Those are enough. Put some bacon fat on them.

Question 51

51. I'm confused about drinking ketones if we want to generate our own by eating low carb how does it make sense to drink ketones???+13 I am confused about drinking ketones. If you want to generate your own, doesn't, that doesn't make sense. So drinking ketones is for people who are having trouble. You're going to hear about that as we go forward. I do some good lectures on that.

Question 52

52. Can magnesium be measured?+12 Magnesium gets covered this next week.

Question 53

53. How to achieve adequate levels of Potassium on Keto? According to Chronometer, when diary kept for a day+11 What about potassium? According to the chronometer when dairy was kept in a daily unit, it didn't I see somehow they couldn't get to their potassium when dairy was kept for a day.

Video Time Stamp: (01:01:03): Oh, I think diary, I'm sorry. I'm thinking dairy. So potassium supplements. That's the other cool thing about the chronometer app that you can learn is what foods increase this micronutrients. So it has suggested who's there, especially if you say, okay, I want to improve my magnesium. I want to improve my potassium. Potassium is a lot easier to improve oil orally than magnesium. So if you go into the app and you say, I want to follow this micronutrient of potassium then it will have suggested foods that helps you reach that goal. So I would encourage you to to attend one of Spencer's teaching sessions that's coming up. Hmm. All right.

Question 54

54. How do you eliminate or pick products --is there a range of carb numbers you try to stay with as a base range?+10 How do you eliminate or pick products? Is there a range of carbs? So that's a long answer. Some products were I picked because it was convenient at the beginning.

Video Time Stamp: (01:02:00): But I've learned a lot more about where we're mostly where the average person's going to miss the information. And so I, I push products that that have hurt my patients or left without an answer or kind of deceived us into a promise that they couldn't keep. Like, Oh, we're going to raise your car. We're going to raise your ketones when you drink this ketone. And I'm raising it, I'm checking my ketones. They're my patients. We're checking to spend the money. Their ketones didn't raise either. And as soon as we got on a good product, the numbers worked. So there's a lot that goes in whether or not I endorse a company or not,

Question 55

55. Impossible to clean out cupboard/fridge. Cook for others who will not do Keto. My downfall is the temptation of "their" foods. Suggestions?+10 I'm impossible to clean out my covers. Your friends, I cook for other people who are not Keto. My downfall is temptations of their foods. And this is real.

Video Time Stamp: (01:02:49): So they're living in a household where they need to claim their own cupboard and this is hard. I will push you to say, stay the course, find as much elimination as possible in the name of old. Try to throw out as much processed food as you can. But boy, the distance to you and temptation is, is real when it comes to sustainability. And I would encourage you to start a support group because that's the number one reason is that if you can't control the people that are in your home, create the tribe that helps you

Question 56

56. When you recommend that we purchase certain products, have you confirmed that these are available outside of the US (i.e. Canada)?+9 When you recommend that we purchase certain products. Okay. In the U S versus not the US. I have a link down here that I actually, I'm going to show you in a minute.

Question 57

57. I'm using MyFitnessPal for years. I'm from Slovenia and Cronometer does'n have much food from Europe. Is MyFitnessPal ok?+9 My fitness pal is also very good. They were saying they, they already have it and it works well for them.

Video Time Stamp: (01:03:39): So I'm like, keep using it. Don't worry about it if you're, if you're working well, that's great.

Question 58

58. Would you please address the hair loss possibility and the keto diet. I've read about taking MSM powder to help with this+9 So again, another hair loss and they were looking at MSM powder, which I don't know if I know what MSM is. So I would say my patients with hair loss all have I cortisol, they have hormones, they're chronically inflamed. It is so universal. It is so much related to their insulin that you're going to learn a lot about what I do in the next few next few little, well, this is a good question too, actually.

Question 59

59. on Module 1.6 when you said throw out "other sweeteners" does that mean typical keto approved sweeteners like monk fruit or erythritol?+9 Other sweeteners I said in throughout other sweeteners. What I meant by that is I have tried to list all the ways you can acquire a sugar and then somebody says, my sugar is raw organic sugar. And I'm like, no, that's bad too. It's full of carbs.

Video Time Stamp: (01:04:28): So at one time I left out honey one time and then it's the, it's another one. So if it's a Keto, if it's Mumford or Richard tol again, eventually I hope that you don't need those, but dang, they're expensive. Don't throw those away. I, I would, we'll get to some of the sugar substitutes in a bit, but you're right. Don't throw those away.

Question 60

60. What role should mindfulness play in the process of moving from his Standard American Diet to keto?+8 What role should mindfulness plate? Huge. Huge. That's the whole reason I'm working on support groups is you have, you have some skillsets that aren't being practiced in our culture. And this is one of the ways that we learn them, that I have my own little support group that happened at three o'clock in the morning this morning. The reason why is you do need time to answer that.

Question 61

61. I started keto to reduce my blood pressure. After 2 weeks my pressure was normal but after a year of ketosis it up again? What's up?+8 So start Keto to reduce my blood pressure. After two weeks, my blood pressure is normal.

Video Time Stamp: (01:05:14): But after a year of ketosis, it's up again. This is real. This happens. So what has happened is his body needed some decrease in the insulin and decrease in his but he then stalled. And I would say, I want to know when you say that your Keto, I want to know what your ketones are. I want to know that you're peeing on a stick and there's ketones in your urine. And if so, then we're going to talk about being at a baseline metabolism. What happens next? So by the end of this course, you'll know the answer to this.

Question 62

62. I keep checking Amazon for your products and am only finding the pills. When will the others be available?+8 I keep checking on Amazon for products. Yes, I had a bloody nose of learning about finding manufacturers in the United States. They're all made in the United States, but they had a problem. I had a total recall. Unfortunately, mine got recalled when it shouldn't have.

Video Time Stamp: (01:05:55): I didn't know that I could fight that and keep the products on there. So I headed down a path to do what the, what the the recommendation was instead of saying, wait, wait, it's not my product. I got recalled. But I had already started this plan of destroying all the products that were there at Amazon, which is huge financial issue. And I am finally getting out of jail from Amazon. This happened January 1st. So we're what, four months into this mess? Almost five months. Yeah. Today's May 1st. Yeah. Painful but so go to Bozmd.com go to Dr Boz favorites and that is usually where I post other people's products that I really do like

Question 63

63. Food intolerance: will they disappear when in ketosis.+7 food intolerances. Will they disappear? Yes. This is your immune system fighting against you. I will tell you there's some great stories coming up that you'll learn about top tips for starting Keto.

Video Time Stamp: (01:06:48):

Question 64

64. Your top tips for starting keto? Take it slow, jump in, other?+6 Take it slow. A jump. Yeah. Take it slower. Jump in. Mmm. I, I'm a jumping kind of gal. But you're going to see when people did that. There are some that run into trouble. Alright, we're getting some easy ones.

Question 65

65. What’s your opinion on vegetable oils? Ok to start or dump them?+6 So vegetable oils. Eventually I, I let people get rid of those, but I don't want the newbies worrying about that right now. I don't want them thinking about the types of fat I want. I'm thinking about total carbohydrates, only 20 of them for two weeks. We'll get to seed oils in a bit.

Question 66

66. Just trying to understand why the protein is so low+6 Why is approaching solo, cause it's not a high protein diet. It's a high fat diet. I am trying to change your chemistry and that happens with, with exactly the instructions.

Question 67

67. Do you suggest any modifications for people with a History of Gastric Bypass surgery?+6 I was just going through a gastric bypass surgery. People, you guys are the toughest. I have a special place in my heart for helping you because you got a mess.

Video Time Stamp: (01:07:42): You've got a section of your guts that's missing that you need for producing some of these fat-based hormones and listening for them. And unfortunately, I do have very several very good success stories with a gastric bypass patients. But the first thing they suffered with is they go on a high fat diet and get chronic diarrhea. The crumbs on a part isn't as big as as it sounds, it, it will get better. But bring that up in a couple of weeks cause you'll, you will know.

Question 68

68. Dairy causes me arthritis (in the joints of my fingers) so I avoid it. Will this effect change for me on the keto diet?+5 like that dairy causes arthritis. Yes. That's cause you're reacting to what's in the dairy. Make sure that it is not the, the lactose, lactose is the sugar that's in dairy and when you use high-fat products to make the dairy, this doesn't happen. But the longer you have low inflammation that the S the, the sharper, that's the word I like to use.

Video Time Stamp: (01:08:34): The sharper your white blood cells get at targeting the things they're supposed to. When you have a food intolerance, when you have an an antigen, which is probably part, I'm not using the word antigen correctly there, but found in dairy that your body reacts to. That lessens when those, when those white blood cells get sharper.

Question 69

69. What about Carnivore? My BS stays around 97 but can't get the ketones much higher than .07... Would the BHB help?+5 So carnivore my blood sugar stay around 97, but get ketones much higher. Okay. Would be to be held. But yeah, so we're getting to some of these that are only five people ask the question.

Question 70

70. No thyroid, Ovaries, Uterus and gallbladder Video Time Stamp: (02:26:48):

No thyroid, Ovaries, Uterus and gallbladder. So boy, the surgeons have had their way with you, haven't they? So I'm going to guess you're a baby boomer. So what hormones are you worried about? So gallbladder, no problem. You, that's not an issue. No uterus or ovaries, you and many other women have. Ha. You can't make the, you don't have the end organ production for estrogen. And progesterone replacing them is probably, it's not a bad option. But those aren't the only reasons why fat-based hormones are made that you remove the ability for your body to make estrogen. Okay. Thyroid without a fibroid. You can't just make thyroid without a thyroid. You're going to have to take thyroid replacement for the rest of your life with or without Keto. The

Video Time Stamp: (02:27:51):

The antidote for having a a human body that works right is nourishing it correctly. So what I hope you took from all these questions,


Don't look, don't look, you keep your blinders on. You keep 20 total carbohydrates a day and you stay the course, you're going to watch the videos from this next week, you're going to see some of the challenges that I'm going to ask you to do over the next seven to 14 days. Video Time Stamp: (02:28:43):

And that, that, that transition is beautiful. It is something I've coached and practiced and guided people through that you have, you have the tools right in front of you. The danger is the distraction that happens amongst people who are further along in the journey. Some of them who didn't have the baseline education that you are getting through this course. And, and more importantly, their body is aren't yours. So please listen to your body. How much salt, how much water do you need? Listen, your body's trying to tell you quit waiting for medicine and my prescription to have a much better answer than the human body does. That permission to listen to yourself shouldn't, shouldn't be such a novel idea. It should be intuitive and common sense, but welcome to the world of medicine in this year. So what I want you to do in that first week of Keto is rewatch some of those videos if you have questions.

Video Time Stamp: (02:29:51): Continue to post question and answers inside the Facebook group. One of the key things I'm super proud of is we have, you know, you know, we have thousand people that are gonna watch this live or that are part of this class and their education is, it will be at a higher level. It will be at the place where I love going to my Keto. I get up at 2:30 in the morning to lead a ketone group across the country because, because I'm in relationship with them and they are educated, they, they know what I've been telling them for three or four years and they educate one another and that community has grown a healthy tribe of people within my area. But you shouldn't have to be isolated to my town to have that. If I educate you, I want you to educate the next layer and using this video series, this course series, I think, I think you're going to love it, especially when we get to the fasting video, which I just finished recording and I'm super excited to share and I will not post on YouTube.
